ISO 14000

The ISO 14000 and ISO 14001 series was designed to incorporate environmental aspects into manufacturing operations and product quality standards. ISO 14000 and 14001 comprise the world's most recognized environmental management system framework. These standards are applicable to organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to multinational companies.

The ISO 14000 Family

ISO 14000 consists of a family of standards that address various aspects of environmental management. The very first two standards, ISO 14001 2004 and ISO 14004 2004 deal with environmental management systems (EMS). ISO 14001 2004 provides the requirements for an EMS, and ISO 14004:2004 provides general EMS guidelines.

The other standards and guidelines in the family address specific environmental aspects, including labeling, performance evaluations, lifecycle analysis, and communication and auditing.

Some of the ways in which ISO 14000 benefits companies are listed below:

Other ISO Standards Relevant to ISO 14000
